@Shotyhan
Zele is affraid of a military coup
@aidanmacdougall9250
I’ll bet it was Zelensky that people were protesting about, not Syrski!
@alviolampis
Syrskyi will have a new comfortable villa as gift… in Monaco/MonteCarlo….
@frank-y8n
The fight in 2014 was between Ukrainian patriots and servants of the US sponsored coup regime.
@kevart57
More rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
@adibunea855
Leaders cannibalize each other when conditions become desperate.
@John_Pace
In the meantime Zaluskny is patently waiting his time.
@henryganzer4685
Dismissing syrski mean to replace one butcher with another butcher . . .
@andrewkrolikiewicz6522
Elenskyy-stein is as much the president of Ukraine as I am the Pope.
@DanDirindon
Ukrainian generals are puppets of NATO, as the government. WHo they are do not count.
@nabarunghoshal560
The Ukrainian people don’t want their children to be ‘bussified’ and sent to the meat grinder. They want the drones to fight the Russians instead. Hence, they prefer the ‘drone wizard’ Fedorov to the ‘butcher’ Sirsky. But the problem is, it’s the manpower that wins the war, not the machines. Sirsky is trying to fight with the help of exhausted, tired men who cannot be replaced with fresh troops as nobody is willing to go to the frontline anymore. The obvious sign is, the war is lost. No amount of shuffling or reshuffling among the top brass can alter this reality.

Wheb the sales in the store is doing good, the boss keeps every one. When the sales is down, the boss looks for any reason to fire anyone.
@williamdewit5432
We need the people in Ukraine in control. Referendum: War or Peace? End of war in ONE day.
@BarryChaplin-g7q
Doesn’t make sense for zelenky to sack sirsky when they claim to be doing so well and “winning” .
@tomasringstrom9380
There are brits and americans in germany in command of ukraines war effort. Sirsky executes their orders. Its a proxy war and they will find another fake commander who can act as if he’s calling the shots.
@mladenmatosevic4591
Remove Syrsky and do what? His replacement will not be likely to sacrifice soldiers by the thousands and then we are step from 1917 Moment.
@adambabic200
Lindsey Graham has lost a life in Ukraine and that is enough of a reason for NATO generals to be dismissed. Who knows how much faster will Ukraine disappear now.
@L110508
Ukrainians should realize that it is not Syrsky that is sending their men to the front lines to die, not even Cocainsky. But it is the NATO that they should protest against, for using the Ukrainians as the canon fodders for their interests. Ukrainians should demand a conscription for young British, French and German men to be sent to the front lines instead of young Ukrainian men.
@danielwu7238
NATO says they are displeased with the Sloviansk front. They want a new general. Zelensky must appease his puppet masters.
@ambrosemorgan7022
It doesn’t matter who they fire because no one in Ukraine is making any decisions.
@MorsInimicis-m6q
The Butcher of Ukraine is running out of meat so he’s losing his usefulness, Zelensky just issued a tender for a world class fishmonger that knows how to cover up the stench of defeat!!!
@brianconnor7828
When you hear this nutcase Zelensky asking his commanders will you support me just shows how corrupt this Zelensky regime is.
Again, these protesters are not against anything other than forced conscription and working class Ukrainians need to up momentum as this might be the only way to save their working class lives!
When adjusting the map in Russian favour even poor Ukrainians at the frontlines are downing weapons and surrendering. Enough is enough and realise now fighting for what!!
Get Zelensky regime out and then the Western plans for now are finished……or if this new leader can be bought in time.
@gh926-e8s
Make or break by Friday. The Green Curse is forced to make decisions by the protesters. Democracy my ass from a corrupted regime. Odessa cut off from all supplies. Short of troops forcing AFU to throw in their last reserves in Donbas. Short on interceptors with no defense against Zircon hypersonic missiles. Trump’s deal could have ended this last year. Green Curse chose to continue and deplete his army and weapons. This might be the beginning to an end.
@KevinMcgovern-c1d
It starts to mirror the last 1year t to 18mths if the NAZIs.. Ukraine troops as good as the veterans are the new revuits have very poor training n are no macth for Russian troops so Ukraine can not last 1 more year like the wehrmacht did.
